lie Was Il Good Democrat.

An honest Republican was called q
rascal" by the Demo. -Confsds. and
turned out of Office, and his place was
given to one Harvey. good Democrat,
who proceeded to forge and steal some
$4,000. Harvey was appointed in
June, 1885, from Wilkesbarre, Pa. Ex-
Gov. Curtin, who knew something of
the man, was astounded that he should
get an appointment of any sort, and
went at once to Secretary Manning to
denounce him as little bstter than q
thief. But Harvey had strong political
backing, and Secretary Manning re-
fused to have the appointment set
aside. Even the New York World,
bitterly partisan as it is, is constrained
to say
"The forgeries and fraud perpetrated
by ex-Chief Clerk Harvey emphasize
the lesson that in turing the rascals
out there is danger of turning other
rascals in unless better system of APP
pointment be adopted. Harvey was a
good Dem GRAFT strongly backed by
political influence. But he pro ed the
worst and the smartest rascal that the
Treasury Department has known in

are still adequate agencies for the prosecu-
ton and punishment of such offenders.
The case was given to the jury at 3 o'clock
pm, Friday, and when they retired their
first action was to elect A. l.. Brown fore
man by a unanimous vote. There was
very little desultory conversation at first,
ballots being at once prepared on the ques-
ton of guilt or innocence. The first vote
on this question resulted ii to l for guilt
One more ballot settled the question of
guilt in the case of each defendant, and the
matter of the penalty to be affixed came up
for consideration. Foreman Brown dis
couraged general talk on the question and
test ballot was taken. This resulted to
3 for three years in the penitentiary-the
heaviest punishment that can be imposed
who voted for the extreme penalty
were very firm in their convictions,
and they labored with the other
three earnestly and long. Considerable
feeling was demonstrated. At last the fore
man called for another ballot. 1t resulted
the same as the first, but after some more
general discussion and debate in groups two
of the three who held out for the imposition
of fine upon ali eleven defendants were
won over. The third was taken in hand
and argued with for nearly an hour. This
was j. ID. Clark. He stoutly maintained
that there was not enough testimony of a
character that was worthy of consideration
to warrant sending any one of the defend
ants to the penitentIary. He was as OBJ
situate in his opinion as were the others
in theirs that three years in the
penitentiary was too good for all of them.
He would stand a,ine for all of them, but
no penitentiary. And this was just where
matters stood when the jurors we're in
formed that the court had reconvened.
Finally some of the eleven began to
show signs Of weakening. They were very
much opposed to disagreement, and III
this Juror Clark agreed with them heartily.
Others of the eleven became less firm. and
the first signs of compromise began to
be apparent. AS the others weakened
Clark grew firper as TO Cells, Oliver, Cas-
selman, and Mccarthy. 1t began TO look
as though if they granted him these four
his purpose as to the others might
be shaken. Several were at first very
much opposed to n compromise on this
line; but they at last submitted, stipulated
for seven for the penitentiary, and the
maximum fine for the other four. Then
there was n season of labor with Clark,
who thought that two years was enough
penitentiary for the worst of them. The
suppers had not vet come, and the jurors
were getting hungry. Somebody proposed
another ballot, which was agreed to. This,
to the surprise of some and the delight of
all, resulted in the agreement as read in
court. The report of the foreman was
drafted, and it had no sooner been signed
than bailiff opened the door and inquired
if the gentlemen we're ready for their sup
pers. They fell TO with a will, and .having

ventions of the season. The fashion of
wearing a waist of entirely different
material, and most often of contrasting
color, is growing in favor and adop-
tion. A pretty waist we illustrate is
much used this season in thin goods,
white and colored lawns, and particu-
larry adapted for making those numer-
Gus and pretty pattern dresses which
can be purchased from $3.50 up to $50
per pattern.
As will be seen from these front and
back views, the wider embroidery is
utilized for small plastrons front and
back, and the upper halves of the
sleeves cut out of the narrower width.
This waist is easily laundried when
made of wash goods, but it is just as
pretty in the popular light woolens of
the season.
Very odd and grotesque are the hats
which the milliners have prepared for
country-going danes and damsels,
albeit most of the designs are exceed
ingly pretty as well. Tall, round
shapes are among these. They are

shirred on around the crown, both on
top and upon the sides, broad ribbon
bows being added at points where they
will accomplish the best effects. The

There Yet Remain Sixty-eight Boodlel
Indictments on the Cook County
Calendar
[CHICAGo TELEGRAM. |

The apparently interminable trial Of the
Cook County Commissioners, charged
with conspiracy to rob this county, came
10 an end on Friday with verdict which
hardly meets popular expectations. Ley
den, Ochs. Van Pelt, Wasserman, Varnell,
Wren and McClaughry are sentenced to
States prison for a term OF two years each,
and Casselman, Cells, Mccarthy and
Oliver are each mulcted in a fine of 81, 900.
So completely convinced have the public
been of the guilt of these conspirators
that probably nothing less than n prison
sentence for every man of them would
have been accepted as satisfying the
public sense of justice and ade-
quately indicating the enormity of their
offense. The yigor and earnestness which
have characterized the prosecution of this
ring and the satisfactory verdict obtained
in the cases of McGarigle and Mcdonald
had led the people OF this county to look
for nothing less than the transfer of every
one of them to the Joliet Penitentiary.
The verdict which allows four of them,
who in the public mind we're not less guilty
than the rest, to escape that fate, does not
give full satisfaction. 1t is sufficient, how
ever, to show that the law and the courts

AN impression prevails in the minds
of some builders that chimney foun-
dation is a good place to get rid of
bats, culls, spawls, or other refuse
brick, but no impression could be more
unwise or injurious to them. A bad
foundation is builders worst enemy,
and for his own future welfare he
should insist upon carefully selecting
the stock that goes under ground. All
masonry is sure to settle, and all pre-
cautions that can should be taken to
insure uniformity in this settling. A
building may be finished, but not COM
pleted, for of no building can it be said
it is completed when carelessness or
ignorance has been displayed in laying
its foundations.

parts of the wearer; that it's weight, in
hanging chiefly from the hips, is effect

These things are certainly true, in
the main, and the remedies advised for
them, if not entirely efficient, are GER
tainly great advance in the right di-
rection.
In order to secure that equable
warmth upon the whole body which is
essential to health, the garments worn
should evenly cover both the limbs and
trunk. This result is obtained by union
suits, the first of knitted manufacture,
and the second, constituting the ordi-
nary drawers and chemise, combined,
is of muslin, linen, or cambria, while
the third consists of loose, heavier
pair of drawers, attached also to
waist above, which are intended to take
the part of petticoat. This system
of clothing not only evenly distributes
heat and relieves pressure and warmth
from the waist, but it suspends the gar
ment from the shoulders. Beyond
this. the reformers prohibit strap gar
ters, which so compress the legs as to
interfere seriously with the circulation.
